Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 Trainers are designed for adult runners who prioritize maximum comfort and plush cushioning during long-distance training or daily road runs. Featuring advanced PureGEL technology and an engineered jacquard mesh upper, these trainers provide a secure, soft wrap around the foot for a premium feel. While they offer exceptional shock absorption and improved traction, users should note that the specific wide-fit profile may require individuals with narrow feet to adjust their lacing for a locked-in sensation.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for speed work?
While the Gel-Nimbus 27 is optimized for comfort and long-distance training, it can handle occasional tempo runs, though it is not a dedicated racing flat.
How often should I replace these trainers?
As a general rule, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Can I remove the sockliner?
Yes, the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Does this model come in different widths?
The specific model mentioned features a wide-fit construction. Check your local retailer if you require a standard or extra-wide variant.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable jacquard mesh upper that is designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique through the top eyelets to secure the ankle more firmly.
Midsole feels stiff after a long break
The foam may stiffen in cold temperatures; allow the shoes to reach room temperature before running to restore optimal cushioning responsiveness.
Visible dirt or road grime on the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris before wiping with a damp, soapy cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first run, ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets to allow for a snug, custom fit. If you use custom orthotics, the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner is removable, allowing you to swap it for a medical-grade insert if necessary.
To maintain the longevity of your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. If they become muddy or dirty, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam.
